Before ::read() is called, open() is called.  ::open() is suppossed to create the empty session data, if no data for the given session exist. This empty data string should then be returned from ::read().  If ::read() fails to read the data, it should return false (or actually any non-string value in the current implementation) to signal failure.

I might be confused but the session id is not passed to ::open() so how is it supposed to create the empty session data ? By using session_id ?

Ah, right, ::open() is not supposed to create the empty session data. This can be done in ::read(); the built-in "files" handler does this, for instance; if the file does not exist and can't be created, ::read() fails.

OK, that was the only explanation that made sense. Do we agree that the doc could be improved by stating this more clearly ? Mathieu -- Mathieu Dubois - IR - UMR 8030 équipe LABGeM CEA - Genoscope. 2 rue Gaston Crémieux. 91057 Evry Cedex France. Bureau B07 +33 1 60 87 53 35
